I recommended Alex Hagman a while ago, but nevermind adding him because he is retiring.

Amazing, I really can't wait for the off-season to see how good Hirt can potentially be!

Name: Byron Guama De La Cruz
Rider ID: 130
PCS: Link
CQ Ranking: Link
First, change his nationality from Venezuela to Ecuador. Should be also given a change in his stats, since he's not a sprinter, he's more a pure climber, altough he is pretty good on hilly stages. And even tough he's not a 72 SP rated, he should be decrease a little bit, to 68 and his ACC should stay as it his, or maybe go up depending on what SN wants. |

 Willie Smit
PCS
Developed significantly in the last season. He won a few small local races in SA, but he won the biggest SA one day race last year, 94.7 Cycle Challenge. He won it in a similar style as Reinardt Janse van Rensburg did in the previous edition. He rode away from a fast peleton with a massive show of strength. He also finished 2nd in African Continental TT Champs.
Seems to be a strong TT, flat and punchy rider. Not a total hopeless on long climbs as well. He's riding for Vini - Nippo in 2014.
I'd put him on XP 2.00 with stats similar to these:
71 FL; 65 MO; 71 HIL; 71 TT; 69 PRL; 63 SPR; 69 ACC.
Maxed out can be anywhere near the following:
74 FL; 70 MO; 76 MO; 75 TT, etc, etc.

 Phillip Gaimon
Rides for Garmin this year and showed some decent results last year as 2nd in the Tour of Gila.
Should be a decent time trialist with some climbing skills as well.
Most likely a helper guy, who could eventually score a point here and there. |

When can we expect the 2014 database to be available for us nerdy managers? 
We have 4 PT races left, and all of them are one-day races. I would really love to be a little better prepared this transferperiod than the last, so time to tangle with the DB would be much appreciated, and for a guy like me there can't be too much time to do so.
I normally go through every single rider in the DB to check for talents of different qualities - And obviously I would love to do it again. Even if there's still a possibility of a few extra talents to be added I would love to get starting soon.
Of course it needs to be ready before we can have it, but an estimate would be nice, I think

There'll be a database ready before Renewals. Can't really be more specific than that because ultimately, I dont know. Depends how long adding new riders / updating stats takes.

Fair enough. I didn't know whether or not you were tweaking a bit here and there through the season, so it was basically done without a few exceptions.
I'll stay in my skin for a little longer

Possibly already mentioned but Damien Howson, riding for Risa Ergon, is down as a European Australian in the after transfers DB.

I don't think there is any particular upside in adding the umlaut. His name is slightly more correct, but is becomes tedious for non-Germans to write his name, and for me, the second one takes priority.

I understand, but we have lots of Umlaut names correctly spelled in the DB already (Lövkvist, Taaramäe, Schär, Schädlich, Sütterlin to name the best), and honestly it's kinda annoying to read the misspelled name when you natively use them and know it's wrong.
In the end, I'm fine with what the majority/SN wants.

I agree with Cio here, the only reason I haven't mentioned it is because I've no idea how to get that symbol to show up without copy and pasting it.
I know there must be a keyboard shortcut for it but I haven't found it yet.

Umlaut's Im not fussed about. May as well change it as it has been pointed out, but in a race report I will always call him Kung, regardless.
Something like Betancourt/Betancur Im not sure about. Its like Van Stayen/Van Staeyen, or a few cases aidan pointed out somewhere else in this thread. I prefer to keep their name consistent - even if a different spelling has emerged and more widely used since they were added to the DB.

I'm not particularly bothered either way, I just prefer not having to copy paste the letters.

I get missing them out in reports for ease of typing, but U =/= Ü. They are different letters with different pronunciations and that should be represented in the DB at least where possible.

If you've got a windows computer then open your Start Menu => All Programs => Accessories => System Tools then open the program called Character Map. from that prgram you can drag them into the document, or it will tell you what keys to press to type it.
e.g. if you hold alt and type 0252 on the number pad with numberlock on then it will give you ü

Cmon guys, there are like hundred of spelling mistakes in the database, mainly in east europe and we all know who that person is,i think that correcting it is useless job with no benefits.

I don't really care to be honest. I always copy the name directly from the database to avoid misshaps. And considering the fact that you can only have so many offers active, then it's really not all that difficult and time consuming.
